I have written new Perl bindings for the SANE API. Please find them at:

https://metacpan.org/pod/Image::Sane

These Perl bindings for the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) Project allowyou to access SANE-compatible scanners in a Perlish and object-orientedway, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C, yetremaining very close in spirit to original API.

They are based on, and almost identical to, my original bindings:

https://metacpan.org/pod/Sane

which the CPAN administrators have been asking me to rename forliterally years. I updated the Perl API (for error handling) at the sametime, but Image::Sane is otherwise almost identical to Sane.
